My Wishlist

I have to admit, it took a while to decide what to put on my wishlist, as I found the choice exceptional and I could have chosen almost everything there, but decide I did and these are my choices.

Standard delivery is also only £3 and free if you spend over £50.

Glasses can be so expensive. As I've needed glasses since I was a child as I am short sighted, I would consider myself an expert in the 'buying glasses' field.  As I am getting older, my eyesight appears to be changing at every eye test. It is becoming more difficult to read and my long distance appears to be improving. Needing to change my prescription on a more frequent basis than previous can be expensive. This is where Firmoo comes in.

Firmoo is an American company that sell glasses online. They say they are the world's most popular eye glasses store, and pride themselves on offering a fashionable range of frames at budget prices.



Frames can be bought from £12 and with such a wide range to choose from there is something for everyone.  Frames are made in a range of materials from plastic and metal to stainless steel and styles available include classic, vintage and designer frames.

The ordering process was surprisingly simple. After browsing through the range of frames and selecting your favourites you can upload a photo of yourself to 'try on' the frames. 


I feel this is a brilliant idea as helps you visualise exactly how the frame would look on you. Once you decide on the frames you want, the next part of the process is uploading a photo of your current in date prescription or filling out the prescription details on the order. You need to get your PD measurement. This is your pupillary distance or pupil distance, from the centre of one pupil to the other when looking straight on. If your optician won't give you this you can measure it yourself. It is helpful though if someones does it for you. Instructions on how to measure your pupillary distance are on the Firmoo website. UV and anti reflective coating can then be added if you want it. Then you just pay and the order is complete.


The order arrived in about a week, super quick I thought, considering they are not based in the UK.  They are a larger style frame than I normally go for but they looked great on. The strength was accurate, and the lenses were thin enough. I have a strong prescription and the thinner lenses 1.57 were perfect, although you can buy thinner lenses again at an extra cost. 



The glasses came with a hard case, a glass cleaner, a soft case and a screwdriver for minor repairs.

I am very pleased with my glasses. Firmoo have a great range of frames, and for a budget pair of glasses you really can't go wrong. They are fun and fashionable and glasses are changed daily. They also have a great offer for new customers at the moment which is 15% off.  If you are wondering how they keep costs down they dispense the glasses from Asia.

Walk around any major town centre and you would have noticed an uprising in the food stakes where established players are paying particular attention to street food sellers; and it shouldn’t be a surprise as to why.

Flavour Art have been known to help many a budding street food vendor and they had some thoughts as to how this new way of dining has become so popular.
From gourmet burgers to Vietnamese cuisine, Lebanese salads to Mexican tacos the sight of a van now just serving a grilled hot dog or less than artistic impersonation of a burger is now questioned. We have become a nation of food critics, tasters, bloggers and judges in a very short space of time; and we shouldn’t be ashamed of it, we should most definitely embrace it.



One of the key things about street food is that it most definitely picks up food trends and flavours which then become quickly adapted into other foods at a rapid scale.
